Hi i had this Alfa Romeo in for the Mobile Classic Valeting Package in Tewkesbury Gloucestershire a few  weeks ago and it had not long had some paintwork ,interior was very dusty and tired,the leather needed a very good clean and treatment, Carpet mats were being replaced. As i said paint work wasn't too bad but still needed a gloss enhancement along with a lot  of over spray that needed to be  removed and compound around  plastics and  moldings here and there. 
Overall finished with nice Durable Wax for the winter months

I Had this Mini Cooper in For Ceramic Coating - Enhancement Detail and Full Detailing Package in Cheltenham At Kleen Machine Workshop.
As you can see from the before photo`s for this car it hadn`t been professionally detailed or valeted for quite some time. There was some green around the windows and door shuts, wheels pretty bad on the inside of the rims. Plus Contamination bonded and organic contamination and lots of Tar, so that also needed to be addressed.
​This is ideal Detailing Package for used or new cars To keep the car tip top.

Because of weather conditions on the day there wasn't many opportunities for photo`s of the Wash process.
After it was washed and clayed and taken inside I started on the Enhancement to the paint .
The Enhancement Detailing package is designed for vehicles that have picked up swirl marks, fine scratches and various other imperfections through bad usage and bad washing techniques.As a result of these the paintwork is left looking dull and hazy. Our Light Paintwork Correction will remove light swirl marks and hazing via a single stage machine polish restoring a glossy, swirl free paintwork finish. ​

The New Car Protection
Welcome to Kleen Machine`s new car protection page. Below is what we offer 
​As most people know when you buy a new car the dealership will offer you some sort of paint and interior protection packages, they will tell you that it is the best package for you. In most instances it is not as high quality or as durable as the product most Detailers like myself are applying.The biggest problems with the protection packages is not the just the products but how they are applied and most importantly, the preparation of the surfaces of the paint before it is applied. We have seen it applied over the top of fall out, over sprayed and un-clayed panels therefore leaving very little protection, if any at all. If you are spending £450 or more for protection you want the BEST preparation for your car, be it a Ford Focus or £150,000 Range Rover Sport or Ferrari.
We offer 5 paint protection packages:
1. A Glass Coating from CarPro - CQuartz Finest
2. Carpro Essence Protection + Reload Sio Coating
3. Carpro Cquarts - Uk or Classic Eddition 
4. Regular Detail Package - to suit your budget and keep you car protected.
5.Air glide system , Cross linking Nano protection
Hi I Had this Jaguar XF in for New Car Protection Package . This  car is to be a  regular so he opted for the CarPro Essence and Reload Sio2 Sealant and wax top up as a Regular Detail Package on monthly bases. Along with regular washes and  Protection top ups this will keep this car as good as new  for years to come.
​For More Information Click Detailing Service Below :-​Visit our other Blogs in the Classic Car Series here with the Ferrari 365 GT4 BB , Porsche Targa , Jaguar F Type, Porsche 911 , E-Type Jaguar , Lotus Elise, Aston Martin DB5,  Ford Focus ST500 and more on our Blog Post here.
QUARTZ COATING VS WAXES-COMPARISON
Quartz coating is a liquid, SiO2-based medium which protects painted automotive surfaces. Traditional waxes contain, in most cases, the Carnauba wax of Brazilian palm trees, beeswax or KPS-type, synthetic waxes.
